I think we want to keep target_cpu_speed[] as a possible input for the
(to be upstreamed) cluster switching logic. Yes, tegra_cpu_init() should be
called due to hotplug. Some systems might need specific initialization for
cpufreq when a new CPU comes online. Also the available frequencies might
be different per CPU. So this information needs to be provided for each
CPU.
Cheers,
Peter.
